Home > Stay-on-scilly > Carnwethers Country House
Away from the hustle and bustle, Pelistry has the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of the off-islands, without being isolated fom the modern amenities of St Mary’s. Thus Carnwether enjoys the best of both worlds and is ideal for a comfortable and relaxing holiday “far from the madding crowd”. It is only fair to mention that silence is relative and we did once have a guest disturbed by a cow munching grass in the next field!

Carnwethers is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, above the secluded bay of Pelistry, about 2.5 miles from Hugh Town by road, but 1.5 miles on foot through Holy Vale. The sandy beach is sheltered from prevailing winds and forms a veritable sun trap. At low tide, Tolls Island can be reached from the beach. Carnwethers was once a farm house for Pelistry Farm and is built on higher ground amidst farming and daffodil country: close to the most natural and scenic part of St Mary’s and near the nature trails and lovely coastal walks along the headlands, through pines and ferns.
